STOCKTON - A Stockton man was arrested at his home Monday on suspicion of making rocket fuel.

San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies responded at 6:27 p.m. to a disturbance in the 1900 block of West Elmwood Avenue, where they said David Gibson, 51, was concocting a fuel mixture for a hobby rocket.

The components of the mixture, different gases that deputies did not immediately identify, are not illegal on their own. But when mixed, they are considered an explosive.
